Lost Opal Inlay Repair: Yes, It's Possible & How to Proceed

Question
Hi! I have a tanzanite with inlaid australian opals on the side. One of the inlaid opals has fallen out and is lost. Is this possible to repair/replace the lost inlaid opal? Thanks, Linda

Answer
Hi Linda ,

Yes  the inlay should be easy to replace , I cant reccomend anyone in particular , but now inlaying is very popular in USA , thanks to the native americans whomade much  inlayed jewellery.  Your local jeweller should be able to advise what it will cost . best regards Rod
